Robert Kocharyan said almost same things that he said after October 27 parliamentary carnage - political analysts (video)
Former President Robert Kocharyan is trying to get dividends from the foreign and domestic policy of his successor Serzh Sargsyan - political analysts in Armenia came to this conclusion after Kocharyan’s latest interview. “If you ask me why he gave that interview, I would say that it was just shameful. He just used the appropriate moment to give the interview and appear on the stage, especially after the interview of Samvel Babayan, a former defense minister of Nagorno Karabakh,” says political analyst Stepan Safaryan. “These forces have activated because they think if in the unfolding situation the false and treacherous policy of Serzh Sargsyan and his team is disclosed, the change of power will become inevitable for Armenia and the cover-up cannot continue for a long time,” said Andreas Ghukasyan, another political analyst in Armenia. The political analysts believe that after the April war in Karabakh, Robert Kocharyan uses every suitable platform to criticize the shortcomings of the acting authorities. At the same time, Stepan Safaryan says the former president is trying to create political capital before the 2017 parliamentary elections. In this context, the political analyst calls attention to the following fact. “When a journalist asked him [Kocharyan] why he had not spoken about the April clashes earlier or had not held meetings like as the first president had done in the wake of the Karabakh hostilities, he gave an answer similar to the one he gave after the October 27 parliamentary carnage - I think you remember you remember him saying this “I was shaved…” In the interview, Robert Kocharyan expressed his surprise at the levels of corruption and monopolies in the country. “It was Robert Kocharyan who nominate Serzh Sargsyan’s candidacy at the presidential elections. It is Robert Kocharyan who is responsible for Serzh Sargsyan's political course. Robert Kocharyan is responsible for deepening criminal oligarchy and corruption in Armenia, for distributing all sectors and selling top positions,” stresses Andreas Ghukasyan. Stepan Safaryan adds, in turn, that Karabakh was left out of the negotiations during Kocharyan’s presidency and it was Kocharyan who sold the military-industrial complex. “We see that attempts are being made to clean the atmosphere after the painful losses that we sustained in the April war. Now they have re-appeared and want to pollute everything again. “Whom are you trying to cheat? And why are you surprised to hear that we do not produce drones or we do not have modern military equipment?” Asks Mr Safaryan. The political analysts believe that people will not ‘swallow the bait’ and believe Kocharyan’s ‘earnest intention’ to save the country, know that he is to blame for all the vicious phenomena he spoke about in his latest interview.
